Yes.
Maybe.
K-Cup. Even generic brands of coffee taste good.
K-Cup. Chemex maker with freshly ground beans is the best, IMO.
okay so the person needs to have tried both t and k really? get whichever one offers more flavors/brands you like

I know what you mean. h is just creamier than g, p is gross though, your friend is really weird.
My parents have a tassimo machine. Use it every morning. I'm not much of a coffee person, but according to them, it's much better than K cups
All these one use cups are a waste of plastic and is too much packaging. Just brew a cup of coffee. Its really easy.

does it make tea and hot chocolate in 30 seconds
Honestly, after using keurig for quite a long time i'd say to only use a single cup coffee maker if you don't have the time. It's a good compromise for time shortage and a good cup of coffee so you dont have to use instant. The cups these machines deliver are decent but do not stack up to a percolator, coffee machine, or french press. All of those take time and make more than 1 single cup of coffee though. Single cup coffee makers are usually off with their heat which is very important for a good cup of coffee, and are often liberal with water which delivers a watery, overly heated cup of watered down coffee. You know how Europe makes fun of american pilsners for being "pisswater"? Single cup makers usually make mudwater. Tassimo's from what i've heard are more expensive, have much less brands for coffee, but are durable and don't often break. Keurigs, on the other hand offer many many major brands and many shops even offer their own k-cups. Stores like dunkin' donuts if you're american. Keurigs often have a bad habit of getting grounds stuck in the needle preventing good water flow but this only happens in cheaper models like the $99 bare bones model. Also single cup coffee makers are expensive in the long run with the more known brands of k-cups reaching $18 for a 12 pack. $11 for lesser known brands. So the best advice i can offer you is to get a Keurig which has many many custom filters available for it that allow you to buy your own coffee in bulk for significantly cheaper, and use it in your keurig. I'm pretty sure tassimo's do not offer such things. You pointed out that Tassimo's apparently offer better lattes. If you have any respect for coffee and your taste buds do not buy a single cup coffee maker for lattes, cappuccinos, or anything OTHER than coffee and tea. Doing so would give you a piss poor excuse for those drinks. Lattes from a single cup maker would be comparable with a latte you get from 7-11 which is just a concentrated powder mixed with water. I love my keurig, i really do. If i want a quick cup of coffee, i can have it in less than 4 minutes. I literally made a cup as i typed this. But if i really want to enjoy my coffee, i have a bag of ungrounded beans that i grind fresh then use a french press. I get about a quart of coffee which takes me a bit to drink but i only use my french press if i have plenty of time, and usually others to serve, or just want a realllllly good cup of coffee. Keurigs can still give you perfectly acceptable cups of coffee however.

Not to mention you would completely waste the extra money on that premium coffee by using it in such a way. Premium coffee should never touch a single cup maker or you're wasting it's potential (and your money) The best thing to do for quick coffee that isn't complete shite is to do what i did. Buy a keurig and then buy a custom filter. They range from 5 bucks to 15 bucks. I use this one, which i picked up for 10 bucks at bed bath beyond. They're on amazon too.

[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;39132960]So just use the K - Cup Filter and make sure to get Coffee Beans and Grind them and not the big Tin ones that have been Pre - Grinded . ?[/QUOTE] Well you can do that if you want. I personally wouldn't bother with using freshly grounded grounds in a single cup maker. What i'm saying is like, go to a supermarket and buy coffee in bulk. For instance, for 50 bucks you can buy 28 k-cups of dunkin donuts coffee. That's $1.79 a cup. OR You can buy a 24 ounce bag at walmart for $13.98. Lets round that to $14. The bag guarantees 60 6oz cups, 6 oz is your typical size of coffee. This roughly equates to $00.23 (23 cents) per cup of coffee. You save $1.56 every time you have a cup of coffee for just taking a minute to fill the filter with the grounds and cleaning it out every time you want a cup.

Anything for a fellow coffee drinker. Word of advice though: Do NOT get the mini plus (the cheapest model). They're prone to jamming, have no water reservoir, and break quite easily.
I like a D cup
K-cups are ok, but I'm not a regular coffee drinker
K-cups are wonderful, but they are expensive as shit. (40$ for about 100 of them)
